So incredibly excited to be spending my summer in Derry. This is my first time reading IT by Stephen King. It has already grabbed hold of me so tightly. 🎈 #stephenking #itthebook #whatimreading #summerbookclub #coffeeandbooks #booksky
A Kobo Libra Colour is showing the opening lines of IT by Stephen King with a note “epic opening line”. It’s sitting in a wooden table in a coffee shop near an oxidized metal window frame. The coffee is iced and black.

We were at the @uklitassociation.bsky.social & @openuni-rfp.bsky.social conference on Friday, discussing how to get more teens reading.

It was a superb conference and good to see schools presenting about our Summer Book Club programme.

If you haven’t heard of Summer Book Club, it’s a free initiative to help students transition from primary to secondary school.

It’s a time that can feel daunting and when children may stop reading for pleasure.

But what book will it be? 🤔

Choice is a big factor in encouraging reading for pleasure, so current year 7s are once again selecting the book.

We’ll reveal the chosen title at the end of the month - stay tuned! 📖
